If we feel that our nation has become apathetic then it is obviously because people have suffered so many adversaries and atrocities. Now we are so much prone to everything that we hardly care about anything. Pakistanis are not ‘born apathetic’; it is the environment that forces them to become apathetic. In this media-saturated society, where media daily reports dozens of killings, suicides, bomb blasts, protests, etc. How can anybody survive without being apathetic? I’m not saying that we not concerned at all, but then again, ‘every cause has its effect’, it’s simply that the kind of environment that surrounds us has certain effects on us. Otherwise, Pakistanis can be as empathetic as any other nation can be!
